Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Give the king of the Netherlands an imperial edict: I am only gentle and far-reaching, Jiamo of the prosperous age, a great festival of vassals and vassals, who are loyal to the bandits, and favored. The King of the Netherlands, Yaohan Lianshi Gan Bo family, belonging to Yafang, Keshu Danxi, sent envoys to show tribute, loyalty, goodness and praise, use it to reward Wang Wenqi, and give Wang Wenqi platinum and other things. Wang Qi only inherits and encourages loyalty , To be my deputy. Qinzai!" ----------- "Records of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty (Records of Emperor Sheng Zuren)"

Since Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan in the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Qing court and the Netherlands came together because of a common enemy. Since then, the exchanges between the two sides have become increasingly close, but the attitude of the Qing court towards the Netherlands has always been condescending, and mostly used, such as Kangxi After three years of using the Netherlands to recover Jinsha, they only issued two edicts and one piece of silver and silk as rewards. Therefore, the Dutch East India Company clearly rejected the request to assist Shi Lang in attacking Dongning.

However, with the end of the battle of Shi Lang and the tightness of the southeast coastal defense, the Dutch saw the hope of returning to Taiwan. Therefore, at the end of April in the 25th year of Kangxi, the Dutch armed merchant ship "Dongfang" and the notification ship "Neptune" used Zheng Jun to prepare Qiongzhou with all their strength. During the battle, he crossed the Taiwan Strait and sneaked into Quanzhou Port. He was immediately returned as a general in charge of the coastal defense of the three provinces and conquered Dongning. Prince Kang Wangjie and Fujian Governor Wu Xingzuo were honored as honored guests.

However, the Dutch East India Company, which had been cheated several times by the Qing court, was extremely wary of the Qing court on the one hand, and on the other hand did not dare to face the Ming Zheng side, which had wiped out Shi Lang's army in one go, so in the confrontation of intrigue, The two sides launched protracted negotiations on a series of issues such as the command power in the Qing-Dutch joint operations, whether to grant Taiwan and Penghu to the Netherlands after the capture of Dongning, and whether to pay the military expenses of the Dutch mercenaries.

However, the Dutch, who were aggressive at the negotiating table and refused to give an inch, didn't know that although they took advantage of the opportunity of Zheng Jun's navy to devote all their efforts to the Qiongzhou battle, they narrowly escaped the Taijiang team's loose cordon in the Fujian Sea, but were killed by a ship. The French ship going to Penghu trade saw that due to competition and the Dutch-French war failed to completely annex the Belgian area, the French notified the discovery to Ming Zheng, so a well-organized roundup was ready

"Your Dan family has been chasing water for thousands of years. Now, my master is sympathetic to your suffering. I would like to report to the Daming Supervisor to pardon you as a pariah, allow you to go to land, and give you land. I don't know how many elders are willing to do this. ?”

In the concept at that time, the Danmin were a heterogeneous species who were not recognized by the land residents, and the government did not register the Danmin as wild and unregistered vagrants. After death, they were not allowed to be buried on land, so they had to be buried in In the sand hills formed by the beach, after heavy rains, some sand graves exposed their corpses and wild dogs competed for food, which was horrible.In this regard, a folk song in Shatian once sang: "The Dan family in Shatian is full of firewood, and you are not allowed to walk on the street with bare feet. The boats are floating in the bitter and salty tide, and the corpses are buried in the vast sea." It can be seen that the Dan people who drifted on the sea have always been discriminated against by the people on the shore. Restrictions such as no wearing shoes, no building houses, no intermarriage with people on the shore, etc.

With such a degree of discrimination, it stands to reason that as soon as Mingzheng's preferential treatment comes out, several Danmin elders should bow their heads down and pray long live. Unexpectedly, these Danmin elders looked at each other, but their faces were gloomy.

"Why? Don't you want to?" Qin Yueyin, who was originally the deputy general of Yongyi Zhongzhen, still retains the temper of Qiu Ba in the past even though he has changed his career. Therefore, seeing the unwillingness of these elders, his face is black It sank immediately. "Is it possible that if you don't eat the toast, you are going to have a fine wine?"

"My lord, calm down." Looking at the murderous guards with knives, a Danmin elder said in a low voice timidly. "We wait for the people of Dan to be miserable and have no savings, so please forgive me."

"Did you think that this feudal clan is counting on your property?" Qin Yueyin sneered. "Do you have gold or silver? Even if you put your little savings from fishing and shrimping in front of me, I will think it smells like fish." Qin Yueyin slapped her nose and counted in disdain. road. "It's really ridiculous to sit and watch the sky!"

"My lord, I just said something wrong in a daze, so please forgive me." Looking at the way the lord in front of him acted, an elder explained eagerly, for fear of offending him. "However, although we are untouchables, we don't want to be slaves and handmaids. Please forgive me and poor people."

"Which wants you to be slaves!" Qin Yueyin suppressed her unhappiness and explained. "Although there are official private slaves in this domain, they mostly use Taixi Kunlun slaves. Even if prisoners of war are used to serve this hard labor, it is somewhat of a punishment, and there is no habit of enslaving the people." Speaking of this, Qin Yueyin swept away Scan the few people in front of you. "As far as the small bodies of the people of the Dan family are concerned, you can rest assured that I don't want to raise a bunch of people who eat nothing."

"What the old man said is that we are good at fishing but not good at farming, and plundering is useless. Please let the old man let me go."

"Who is born to be able to farm?" Qin Yueyin stared at the speaker. "It's a simple matter of not being good at farming. The Yingtian Secretary that I work for will send people to the fields to teach, and the field tax will be restored in the first three years of the new field, and half of the land tax will be reduced in the next two years. One year can make you familiar with farming, isn't that enough?"

But what Qin Yueyin said was so good that people were skeptical, so someone asked tentatively: "I don't know what price I will pay for the Dan family, please let me know."

"First, we must follow the order and move to Dongning for resettlement." Finally, there was someone on the right path, Qin Yueyin was overjoyed, and immediately revealed his hole card. "Secondly, I'm afraid that the Navy is still short of manpower, so I might have to send some recruits who are in the right age to join the army. Of course, Shan Dinghu will not sign up for the army."

A group of elders suddenly realized, so they cried out, "My lord is merciful, how can this be?"

"Enough!" Qin Yueyin slapped the arm of the chair beside her and shouted sharply. "Your Majesty's decree, you have to obey even if you don't want to, and the relocation will start in three days." Speaking of this, Qin Yueyin smiled darkly. "If anyone dares to escape, the navy of this domain is not a display. If you lose your life, don't blame the official for being unpredictable."

"Lord Lin." Qiongzhou over there is already turned upside down, but at this moment Zheng Kezang is free to meet Lin Xian who has been under house arrest for a long time. "Is it safe to be in Dongning these days?"

Lin Xian couldn't help a wry smile when he heard the words, although Zheng Kezang exchanged the remains of Shi Lang, Wu Qijue, Chen Chang and other Qing army generals who died in battle and killed themselves, Shi Shiji, Shi Shibiao and others through the window of Ryukyu in exchange for his own and Chen Long's The family is small, but how can the days of being detained in a small courtyard and unable to go out be considered safe?

But Zheng Kezang asked a question, and he had no choice but to say against his will: "With the care of the feudal lord, Lin has no worries about food and clothing."

"This is resentful." Zheng Kezang smiled. "However, it is right to have resentment. Master Lin was born in the army. If you are a soldier, you should dare to be angry. What's more, your lord's righteousness in front of the battle can be regarded as meritorious for the clan. Those who have meritorious service should not hold back themselves. " Lin Xian didn't know what Zheng Kezang meant by this, so he didn't dare to speak easily, so he just heard what Zheng Kezang said. "After thinking about it for a while, I feel that Master Lin still has some accomplishments in the navy. Of course, I can't rest assured that I let him lead the army, but I can't bury my master's ability."

Lin Xianpo was a little dumbfounded, is Zheng Kezang confiding his heart?But speaking so bluntly, how can he deal with himself?

So Lin Xian hurriedly said: "Lin is not very grateful for the kindness of the feudal lord, but speaking of it, it is a blessing for us to not die in battle, so Lin urges the feudal lord to let Lin be disarmed and return to the field."

"Chen Long also said the same thing, but Dongning is too young to tolerate any legacy." Zheng Kezang waved his hand. "Master Lin refused to listen to Gu's arrangement. Isn't this impure?" When Zheng Kezang said this, Lin Xian was speechless. Seeing Lin Xian drooping his head, Zheng Kezang immediately continue. "Gu originally planned to use the freshwater brigade as a training place for naval military officers, but after thinking about it, it is better to have a special naval academy. Only with this school can we systematically teach combat, gunnery, command, and ship handling. , Needlework, astrology, boat-making and other subjects, and the fresh water team belongs to the Naval Academy, which is considered to be practical, so that the relationship can be straightened out, what does Master Lin think?"

Naval Academy?Lin Xian was taken aback. You must know that at that time, how to command a battle was mainly based on personal understanding, and word of mouth only appeared in rare cases such as father and son. , as long as one out of ten of them masters how to command operations?Lin Xian sucked in a breath of air, only feeling that Zheng Kezang had a big plan, and his mind was shaken by it for a while.

"Master Lin doesn't speak, I just think it's Master Lin who supports it, so that's very good." Zheng Kezang intentionally misinterpreted Lin Xian's silence, Lin Xian couldn't understand what he was saying, and his face was flushed. "I'm going to hand over the position of head of the Naval Academy to Mr. Lin. I don't know what Lin Qing wants?"

"Chen, I'm just a surrender, how dare I take on such a heavy responsibility." Lin Xian was shocked, and immediately evaded, but he didn't realize that he had changed his words to become a minister. "I also ask the lord to use the elders of the vassal as the head of the mountain."

"Gu has already considered it, and I still think Qing is the most suitable." Zheng Kezang looked at Lin Xian closely. "Lin Qing doesn't have to refuse."

"This? This?" Lin Xian couldn't do anything about Zheng Kezang's way of driving ducks to the shelves, but if he didn't agree, he would never be able to escape with the way Zheng Kezang killed Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan, so he weighed again and again, helpless Lin Xian Xian could only grit his teeth and answer. "Since the Lord has an order, how dare I disobey it"
